Scary/creepy/weird stuff in Pokémon (games, anime, manga etc.)

Well come on, they definitely should be feeling cold there. But I don't think I've ever encountered a wild Froslass there... and even so I don't remember encountering one in any Pokémon game. But really the idea of freezing them to their deaths and putting them on display is just creepy.

The closest thing to Froslass we see on that route is wild Snorunt in Platinum. I think Froslass is one of those Pokémon that has never been available in the wild in the games like Rhyperior or Mew.

I think we're pretty close at Mt Lanakila too. Glalie can only be encountered in the wild there so we would be close to seeing Froslass there too. Also the icy interior of the cave would be a perfect habitat for Frolass to display its prey.

It wouldn’t be the first time this series was low-key dark;

"The soul of a woman lost on a snowy mountain possessed an icicle, becoming this Pokémon. The food it most relishes is the souls of men."

That’s a Pokédex entry from Frosslass. But yeah “kids” game.

I think that might be referencing the yuki-onna myth Froslass is based off.

Ghost type Pokedex entries probably are more creepy than any other type on average

True

Also, the whole Litwick line. They're candles or chandeliers which pretend to be a useful light, but they're actually sucking out life energy from anybody who goes near them. Chandelure's flames don't physically burn its victims, but it instead burns up their soul, which wanders aimlessly around in the afterlife for eternity. Which makes you wonder how Shauntal is still alive with that Chandelure of hers.

Ooh. Even so, according to Litwick and Lampent's Pokédex entries, they use the souls as their fuel so it's basically their food. Maybe in that case it doesn't want to eat the soul of Shauntal.

I’m guessing that the line will not absorb the souls of those it likes such as their trainers and friends and families. Either that or they just take a very tiny bit once in awhile.

Yeah maybe so. It would be weird for it to eat the soul of someone it would like even if it's known for eating souls. But it would be more likely to consume other sorts of food like Berries if it were to be owned by a Trainer.

Yeah but that girl in BW2 used a Litwik, right? The one who goes back to the Pokémon Centre after being battled and seems to be having her soul eaten by her own Litwik?

I don't remember that happening in B2W2. But in which Pokémon Center does it happen? And where is she battled?

I was wondering the same thing.

 

[Minedreigon]

Definitely happens. She is battled in Celestial Tower and returns to Milstralton City Pokemon Centre.

Yeah, in fact I mentioned her in my first post in this thread. Her name's Alberta (any Canadians here? ) and she returns to Mistralton after the battle, where she says she's feeling a little worn-out due to her Litwick sucking out her energy. And she's a Schoolkid too.

I suspected that one. It definitely makes sense considering a lot of Litwick live at Celestial Tower. I think the one she had was likely to be recently caught.

Technically Mew was wild in Emerald via the Old Sea Chart. I've always been disappointed that the yuki-onna reference in Route 217 didn't involve Yukimenoko (Froslass), however.

Well you know what I mean. Some Pokémon will never be found in the wild unless it is under some special circumstance or a place with a very specific condition.

Remember when we were younger, we always wondered where Professor Oak caught the starters? Well, turns out he catches them in Alola with the Island Scanner.

 

[Mega Altaria]

One thing I found weird is how the professor is expected to be an expert of Pokémon and writes all of the Pokédex entries of every Pokémon in the Pokédex but sends the player on a task to catch all of the Pokémon to unlock the entry data in the Pokédex. But then can't the professor tell the player about every Pokémon that can be found in their native region? But really it's a great incentive for the player to get out on an adventure to look out for as many different Pokémon species as possible and experience their behaviours in their natural habitat.

Machamp Shove, it just looks creepy.

Yeah... Why does Machamp have to carry you while he pushes heavy boulders around? I get that he has four arms, but still.
